Line 24:
** Ukraine and Estonia seem to play this for the [[Fan Nickname|Eastern European Soap Opera]]. And even ''that'' is questionable at best.
* ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' has a mild version of this trope: Ahiru, as a duck who used to live outside of the story, is the only one at first to notice the odd things that happen in town, like a cat being a ballet instructor and an anteater being one of the students. She quickly gets used to the oddities of the town, however. Autor might also qualify - he's the only character to realize that he's living inside of a fairytale that ''isn't'' a character in the story.
* Chisame from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. At the beginning of the series, she is apparently the only one to notice, or care, that the students of Class 3A are... a little on the odd side. Not odd as in 'a little eccentric', odd as in 'that girl is obviously a robot!'. On the bright side, she noticed that Negi seemed to have an unusual respect for her{{spoiler|, which proved useful when [[Super
* Kyon from ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' is surrounded by time travelers, aliens, espers and, the craziest of them all, Haruhi herself.
** He even comments about it in the fifth novel.
Line 40:
* Toki in ''[[Code Breaker|Code:Breaker']]', almost exclusively around [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Yuuki; apparently Oogami, [[Crazy Prepared]] and Sakura, a [[Cute Bruiser]] [[Determinator|Determinatrix]] don't (usually) push the boundaries of [[Shonen]] sanity enough to bother him.
* Battler in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Umineko no Naku Koro Ni]]'' never actually moved away from the second stage of this syndrome and, from the second arc on, makes the purpose of his existence proving that magic had nothing to do with [[Ten Little Murder Victims|his and everyone else's murders]].
* ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]'''s Firo Prochainezo acts like this quite a bit in the [[Light Novels]], as sometimes he just can't help but realize that his friends are really, ''really'' weird. The saner ones include a 200-year-old man with [[Dead Little Sister]]/[[Big Brother Instinct]] the size of the continental US and the [[Mad
* Takeshi Kamiyama from ''[[Cromartie High School]]''. Though, perhaps, he's best labeled "Only Sane-ish Man."
** Although Maeda seems to get this kind of treatment somewhat too, seeing how he is the only one of the main cast who seems to care about stuff like that you need nine players to play baseball, AND that gorillas and motorcycles don't count as players, something Kamiyama seems to completely ignore at that point.
Line 50:
* Takamine Kiyomaro from ''[[Gash Bell]]'' often takes this role, especially when Kanchome, Folgore, or Riddle professor are around. One particularly hilarious occasion was in his dream {{spoiler|after which he loses Answer Talker.}}
* Kaede of ''[[Ninin ga Shinobuden]]''. Also Miyabi, although she contributes to the madness.
* [[Dark
** It certainly didn't stop her from falling in love with a flying robot with a TV for a head. Yeah...
** You're probably forgetting [[Little Miss Snarker|Ninamori]]...
Line 83:
* Dr. Fuyutsuki from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.
* Hilariously, ''Ein the dog'' is heavily implied to be the only sane being aboard the [[Cowboy Bebop|Bebop.]]
* [[Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai]]'s Kodaka Hasegawa serves as this to the Neighbors Club, a school club ostensibly aiming to help its members make friends -- and he shares the clubroom with an [[Jerkass|abrasive]] [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|brunette]], a [[Ms. Fanservice|ridiculously sexy]] [[Rich Bitch|high-class brat]], an [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|effeminate]] [[Wholesome Crossdresser|crossdresser]], a [[Lovable Sex Maniac|perverted]] [[Teen Genius|teenage prodigy]], his little sister [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|under a constant self-delusion of being a vampire-loli]], and a [[Hollywood Nuns|ten-year-old nun]] with [[Cloudcuckoolander|serious reality-checking issues]]. The only reason he's even with the Club is because his [[Face of a Thug|facial structure]] and [[Hair of Gold|naturally-blond hair]] makes him pass up for some [[Delinquent]].
* In ''[[Daily Lives of High School Boys (Manga)|Daily Lives of High School Boys]]'', there's Tadakuni towards Hidenori and Yoshitake, Tadakuni's [[Distaff Counterpart]] Habara towards Yanagin and Ikushima, and, on top of all, Karasawa.
* Yui in [[To Love Ru|To Love-Ru]]. As the class morals officer she's the other side of Rito's [[Accidental Pervert|accidental perversion]]. However the more she fights it, the more the universe decides to screw with her. Eventually her tolerance for the antics of day to day life with Rito and his friends increases quite a bit, but that doesn't mean [[Tsundere|she won't hit and yell at Rito when he does something perverted.]]
